Many people have a preconceived notion of what a "cruise" looks like- and this was nothing like that. Although, I did eat a lot (I tried to limit myself to one dessert per day), and I did take full advantage of the jacuzzi, overall the experience was incredibly active and I went to bed exhausted every night.
Our typical daily schedule on the Sea Spirit:
8am: Wake up call. One morning we were awoken with the announcement that there was a "pile of walrus waiting for us." Best wake-up call ever!
7am-8:30am: Breakfast served in the dinning room. -an amazing buffet spread, always an option for fresh cooked omelets or the daily special (ie scratch made pancakes with blueberry compote)
9am: First group loaded onto zodiacs. With 99 passengers, we were split into two groups in order to limit time waiting in lines.
930am: Second group loaded onto zodiacs.
9:30-12: Morning activity. Depending on physical comfort level passengers could choose between a walk or more strenuous hike -often times visiting a historical site or glacier.
12-2pm: Lunch. Always a large buffet selection of delicious food. Occasionally, there was also a bbq lunch option on the upper-deck.
2pm-5:00pm: Afternoon activity (hike or walk, zodiac cruise, etc. )
6pm: Debriefing in the lounge. An overview of what we did/saw that day and proposed itinerary for the following day
7:00pm: Dinner served in dining room. A three-course selection off of a menu.
9:00pm: Entertainment in the Club. Time to relax and listen to our incredible on-board musician, Randy.
